The Lebe rifle, the new arm with
which the French infantry will be
supplied before next Spring, is, ac-
cording TO all accounts, wonder, and
several models of the gun which have
been received here have excited great
interest. The new rifle is known by
the name OF its inventor, Lebel, and is
smaller and lighter than the rifles now
in use; the French soldiers call il ''the
little gun The most authentic de.
scripllons given of the gun agree in
attributing to il II carrying power be-
yond that of any rifle heretofore in
use. The models received in New
York are not known tn be accurate
copies of the Lebe gun, and expert
ments with them are impossible, owing
u the fact that the powder used is n
secret compound of which the French
Government has the monopoly.
According tn all accounts the Lebel
gun will carry lis bullet more than q
mile and half, and with a more cer-
tain aim than has been possible with
ordinary rifles. The bore of the gun
is very small, and the ball, which is of
steel and sharply pointed at one end,
Is said to revove at speed of 1000
revolutions second. In the tests
made by the French Government, this
bullet has penetrated brick wall
eight inches thick at a distance Of 500
yards. II will go through any kind
IF armor which can be worn by SOL
ders, and at distance of more than
mile pass through man AS easily as
at ten PAGES. The gun has no recoil
under fire, and the powder gives out
~ smoke whatever. 1t has been said
that the powder used must he a type

THE TALE OF TWO DREAMS.
One Led TO Fortune and the Other TO
Death.

Paluse IN. ii Gazetts.J
Dream GnIch Davis is dead. The
famous Dream Culch, in the Ceur
d'AIene mining region, WAS discovered
in 1884 by +. NJ. Davis of Pennington,
this county. Davis said he owed the
discovery to dresn---hence the name
of the gulch The dream not only
revealed the minutest deatails of the
intricate route tn be followed, but also
the fabulous sums Of gold that would
reward his labor. A ledge was also
described ia which the finder was to
chisel two mule loads of precious
metal. Every hing was found as de-
scribed, although the two mules are
not vet loaded. With the aid of two
men, Davis took out large sum of
money during the working season of
1884: he then sold out and settled on
a farm in the Willamette valley. Ow-
ing to speculation, DAVIS found him
SELF again in strai.ened circumstances
in the winter of 1886. Morpheus again
came to his assistance and unfolded
the treasures of n certain cave IN the
San Jacint0 mountains, in Southern
California. Within could be found
the groupings of ledge of great rich
ness. In January Davis departed for
Southern California, and although he
never had been in that locality before,
he had no difficulty in locating the
cave. Conceaiug his mule he follow
ed gulch until he reached the mouth
of cave. which he ut once recognized.
He entered, sought the corner where
the ledge crossed, and there, sure
enough, was the vein. The rock show

rang out in one of tho suburbs OF the
Angel City, and search revealed tae
corpse of a man. 1t was that of Dream
Guich Davis, and his own hand closed
his strange career.

In many OF the States the conditions are such
that full vote is rarely pOlled. The smallest per-
Centage OF voters to males over 21 years was In
Rhode Island. where it was less than AZ per cent.
In Massachusetts, and Mississippi the percentage
was about 60. In Florida it was more than 90 per
cent. Notwithstanding this defect, the table shows
very well how political power is distributed among
the voters with respect TO the legislative and ex
ecut1ve branches OF the General Government. 1t
will be that the distribution OF this power is
much more universal in the House OF Representa-
tives, as Was intended and this fact will evi-
IDENTIFY be source OF power to this House in It's
conflicts with the other branch OF the legislature.
On the other hand the difference OF the senatorial
power OF voters In the States has become very
marked Thus. single voter In the State OF Ne
vada has as much Senatorial power as 81 voters in
New York, and voter in Delaware. 30 times as
much as one in New York, and times as much as
one in Kentucky. The New England States have
more than times the power OF New York. In ad-
dition to this in some OF the States the Senators
are elected by minority OF the voters Where
political power is uneQually divided, the respect
for the legislative body VIII depend largely on its
wisdom and the fairness OF its conduct toward the
whole country. But 1t is doubtful whether such
condition is permanent,

HIS RIGHT 10 HIS SEAT CLEARLY ESTABLISHED.


The Congressional contest In Indiana OF Lowrey
VS. White has ended virtually in favor OF White.
A Fort Wayne dispatch says: On Saturday night
the evidence was fully completed. The fact as to
the full citizenship OF White was clearly and con-
clusively established by the testimony Of White,
who was on all essential points cOrr0borated by
Hon. Isaac Jenkinson, OF Richmond, Ind, and ex-
Sheriff Pratt, OF this city, both OF whom were
present In court when he was naturaliZed in 1865.
Mr. Jenkinson was one of his witnesses 1t ap-
pears that clerk OF the court neglected to make
record OF the fact, but 1t has been shown that he
In like manner in nearly Two hundred cases, en-
bracing those Of some OF the most prominent busi-
ness men of the city OF Fl Wayne, failed to make
any such record. The charges made by LoWrey as
to bribery were abandoned by him, and no EVIL
dence OF any kind whatever was offered to suS-
tain them The evidence fully sustained Whites
eligibility which was the only question involved
In the case 50 that his hight to retain his seat IN
to which he was elected by $500 majority, is

senator Farwell, Congressman Durham and Chair
man jones' Of the Illinois Republican State Gen.

to see Mr.. Blaine. Walker Blaine met them I'm the

need Of rest and the callers withdrew Later In the
day Mr.. Blaine received a number OF personal
friends but positively declined TO see reporters or
to be interviewed on any subject political or
otherwise EmmonS Blaine stated that his father
would probably remain in Chicago several days,
and perhaps week. He needed rest at present,
after his long journey, but to-day would quite
likely receive all who called upon him. 1t was an
nounced to the SONS of Mr.. Blaine that the bank
ers OF the city proposed to give a banquet during
their fathers stay In Chicago, and would request
from him some expression OF his views upon the
financial and business prospects OF the country.
1t was not learned whether MI. Rlaine would ac-

pose OF extending formal invitation and OF learn
